It's tempting to run a betting pool to see how many days it takes the City of #Edmonton to get it cleared. Typically it's anywhere from 5-14 days.

Lots of people are about to be really mad that price of eggs goes up but they can’t get a 2nd job because they can’t afford childcare and when they do finally get the eggs they get E Coli because there’s no FDA but can’t go to the doctor because they got kicked off their health plan. #FAFO

$6 billion over 4 years to provide postal service to every citizen in Canada so grandma can get her OAS on time is peanuts compared to what we shell out to rich oil and gas companies every year. environmentaldefence.ca/wp-content/u...

Never in my previous nursing experience would I have guessed that I’d have to know about shigella, measles, body lice, syphilis, and now, scurvy??? As we race back to the 1800s, I’ll need to crack open a Nightingale text. This is shameful.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.
Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

"One day the tables will turn and YOU may be on the side of the “vulnerable”. When that happens you’re going to wish you had listened to us."
Disabled people are screaming at the top of our lungs that the current situation with Covid, climate AND politics is NOT sustainable.
We’ve lost too many people already. Millions of others have joined our ranks & are learning to navigate ableist & eugenicist systems
